About New York Transit Museum

New York Transit Museum houses twenty vintage subway and elevated cars within a decommissioned 1936 subway station in Brooklyn, where visitors board historic trains dating back to 1904 and sit behind the wheel of a city bus. The museum's platform level spans a full city block and features rotating exhibits including The New York Transit Museum: 50 Years of Stories, Ode to the Orange Seats, FAREwell, MetroCard, and On the Streets: New York's Trolleys and Buses. Visitors walk through a century of turnstile design and explore changing exhibitions illuminating the cultural, social, and technological history of mass transit. Featured Programs include Vinyl Nights dance parties on the platform, vintage train rides to Green-Wood Cemetery aboard Redbirds, and storytelling events. The museum is located underground in Brooklyn, New York. Visitors with disabilities receive admission discounted to $10, down from the regular price of $15, according to nytransitmuseum.org.
